Only: I'm a little confused with Aramil's actions. Is he planning on waiting and catching up, or does he want to involve himself in the meeting before their departure? If so, now is a good time to interrupt the meeting and declare your intentions.

Yeah well............ I was confused by them too lol. I thought about having him march right into town, ask what is going on, then volunteer. The more I thought of it though, the less like him it is. He will follow, but I will be sure to do something dumb enough for the group to notice me. Sorry for the confusion. I'm trying to make this easy yet still kind of well........ ranger-ish lol.

I see no reason why you couldn't be a known associate of the town (as I already hinted at Jorgan knowing you anyway), a respected scout and a bit of a protector, if you will (though at this level there's only so much protecting one can do). And I also think it'd make perfect sense for Aramil to want to tag along, since chances are he guided the caravan to the intersection anyway.

Makes good enough sense for me! I'm going to just edit that last post and have him marching into town.

May be good to have him follow then into the Mayor's office at the last minute, for dramatic effect, if nothing else. That, and it'll keep me from having to edit my post as well.

No worries, I'll have him following the half-orc, since he'd be easier to see than the dang ol' small dwarf!

Better not be any short jokes!

I'll be out of contact for 36 hours... Please NPC as needed.

Reference the map if you're not clear on the location. We're about a third of the way up on the trail, just after the first curve.

I've deliberately made the trip long enough so that PCs will have to figure out a way to survive in the wild.
